What is InGreen™?

InGreen is a program which provides FSC group certification for in-plant printers, public printers, private printers and selected other companies dealing in the manufacture or distibution of FSC certified products. Group FSC certification carries the same credibility and standing as independent certification but costs less because the program spreads the administrative and certification costs out over many members. InGreen is managed by Printers Green Resource LLC.
